Notes

Press release: "In the first of a new series of Panel Borders in new time slots (same weekdays), we have the start of a month of shows looking at the presence of comics in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Alex Fitch talks to curator Ligaya Salazar and artist Robert Hunter about the exhibition Memory Palace which runs at the V & A until 20th October and depicts a post apocalyptic London where memory and speech are being legislated and curtailed by the state. Salazar discusses the creation of the exhibition with co-curator Laurie Britton Newell and how the short story by Hari Kunzru which forms the basis of the show has been illustrated by artists from various media including comics, illustration and sculpture, while Hunter talks about his silent comic strip for the book of the exhibition which reimagines its creation within the walls of the museum and elsewhere.
